Note to those who started reading the original.
Although the plot of this and the original are identical, this version starts off very differently
It is a cold and slightly stormy night in Midgar, perfect for hiding the figure crouching behind a dumpster in an alleyway adjacent to a bar in Sector 2. The once settled dust currently being blown about by the wind straight into a young man's face though he shields himself with his arm, pale grey hair being blown about into his face. He is very young, looking to be in his 20's. Several other figures could be seen silhouetted behind the corner the man was slowly making his way from.
The young man is nervous, green eyes squinting, constantly looking behind him; checking for followers as he edges towards the ally entrance slowly, though he is stopped by a man before he can get there. The man is slightly older then than him, possibly in his mid to late 30's.
Without knowing him, you can tell he is rich, chest covered with an expensive but plain white top, unbuttoned halfway revealing an expensive looking necklace, light blue trousers down to the floor covering his shoes.
"Got the time mate?" the elder asks. The younger man thought for a minute before trying to leave. "Hey wait," the elder asked, before swinging round and grabbing the younger mans wrist pulling him close, face pressed up against his. "I asked you a question, answer," he stated, looking into his eyes.
The figures crept out of the shadows behind the pair and moved to stand behind them. "Hey boss," the ender man said. "This man's not co-operating." The "boss", who in reality is the leader of the gang moves forward, coming into the light, his face now clearly shown. The younger man pales and looks horrified.
The boss thinks for a few minutes, never taking his eyes off of the young man before pulling something from his pocket. Light dances off it and reveals it to be a blade of some kind. The boss circles the two men, smiling. Stopping behind the younger man he places the blade against his throat.
"Please," the man begs. "Please don't do this." The boss's only reply was to slit the man's throat.
"I hate everything you stand for," he states to the now dead body.
The next days the murder is all over the news. The body is identified as being Steven Hayworth who worked at Shin-Ra.
